Break Barriers to Better Mental Health
Whether you're struggling with the death of a loved one, anxiety about an uncertain future, or the pain of broken connections, therapy can help you find relief, clarity, and a path forward. I provide compassionate, judgment-free support for adults in Mississippi and Louisiana who are ready to heal and grow.
Overcoming Emotional Struggles with Compassion and Care
Exhaustion, constant stress, isolation, and pressure from society can leave you feeling stuck and drained. These emotions may cause a loss of control and unexplainable anger or tears, as if battling an invisible weight that hinders fulfillment.
Together, we’ll unpack these feelings in a supportive environment. I’ll provide tools to manage stress, build resilience, and face challenges confidently. My goal is to help you navigate grief and transitions, regain balance, and restore connections. With personalized guidance, you can heal, reclaim your peace, and create a more authentic life.
Hello, I'm Alicia Mainka, here to help you break free from feeling "Stuck".
For over 20 years, I’ve helped people navigate grief, life transitions, and relationship challenges. I know that healing isn’t about “getting over it.” It’s more about making sense of your emotions, learning how to cope, and finding a way forward that feels true to you.
I take a collaborative approach, blending Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, mindfulness, and strength-based techniques to help you manage stress, build resilience, and regain control over your life. My goal is to empower you with knowledge and tools to help you gain insights you need to heal and grow.
